VITAL is a great opportunity to develop the leadership potential of young people aged 14 - 17 years. It has been run successfully in schools and parishes. It is a six week course and includes a project aimed at linking school with a parish community.
VITAL is fun and it is a lively and interactive training course encompassing many life skills. As well as building confidence and developing new and existing skills.
VITAL is a Diocesan Certificated Course and all participant will receive a certificate signed by Archbishop Bernard on completion.
Each session will last 2 hours. It includes icebreakers, games, theory input, small group work, discussion, presentations, project work and an experience of 6 different encounters of prayer with young people: 1. Listening 2. Communication 3. You are Unique 4. Group Work & Leadership 5. Prayer 6. Liturgy
VITAL means something which is essential, it means life and hopefully this course will give LIFE and show news ways of living out our life with God in a deeper way.
VITALITY means full of energy - this is the gift young people give to the Church today.
VIA means Way. We are sometimes unclear about where we are going but the Gospel reminds us that Jesus is the Way the Truth and the Life The T of the Cross in the logo also stands for Truth. The Cross is at the centre because we try to put Jesus is at the centre of all that we do.
